IoT module provider Telit Cinterion aligned itself more closely with Nvidia, detailing validation tests of the chip company’s specialised robotics and generative AI platform for use in its 5G-capable equipment.

Telit Cinterion stated it is close to completing the validation tests, with plans to employ the Nvidia Jetson Thor system in a host of 5G IoT modules including its FE920C04 and other reduced capability (RedCap) units.

Extending its integration with Nvidia’s Jetson range is expected to deliver “high-performance connectivity for next-generation autonomous machines and mobile AI systems”, Telit Cinterion stated.

’Nvidia’s Jetson Thor platform employs a pair of the company’s Blackwell GPUs and 128GB of memory to provide advanced AI computing capabilities.

The company states the set-up offers a 7.5-times boost in AI compute and 3.5-times improvement in energy efficiency compared with its Jetson AGX Orin product.

Manish Watwani, president of IoT products at Telit Cinterion, said 5G “is a foundational capability for humanoid and mobile AI robotic devices”.

The Nvidia product is “unlocking new levels of compute for autonomous systems”, Watwani added.
